Bible Verse of The Day – 10-15-20

Deuteronomy 28:2 (NKJV) 2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God…

When we obey the voice of the Lord God, His protection and blessings will be with us.

Obedience will activate the blessings of the Lord upon our lives.

Now, the blessings may not always be what we think they will be. But they will be what God knows is good for us and what we need at that time. Trusting Him with this is a sign of spiritual maturity.

Take, for instance, the Manna in the wilderness for the Israelites (Exodus 16:4). They were blessed, whether they realized it or not. The Manna kept them nourished and fed. God knew it would.

But they, on the other hand, complained and wanted meat.

God did eventually give them quail. But come on! The manna would have been more than sufficient for them.

Exodus 16:11-12 (NKJV) 11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 12 “I have heard the complaints of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, ‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. And you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’ ”

Who’s complaining that what God gives them is not enough?

Are we going to be satisfied with what God knows is good for us, or will we be like the Israelites and want more and more?

Let us learn to desire and want what God knows is good for us and be OK with it. Focus on obeying. Everything else will come supernaturally, by the hand of God. And it will be exactly what we need at any given time. Amen.
